Toxic and fake empathetic culture with cliques and heavy workloads - Anonymous employee AxiCom Employee Review

Culture, co-workers, and clientele. Some agencies can have a toxic work culture, but I was very happy to not have that experience here. AxiCom, and the people who make up this company, are very special, and very talented.

The only downside I can think of is one that I'd have for most agencies. There's a lot of pressure to pitch and win new business, and it's sometimes hard to squeeze that into your current workload. But again, all agencies I have worked for have this problem.

• Interesting client mix • Opportunities to work on a wide variety of projects

• New management turned the company upside down • Clear favoritism, difficult to move up unless you know the right people • Rude managers who pit junior staff against each other • Pay discrepancies among people holding the same title are at an insane level. I learned I was being paid 20k less than a peer who had less experience than me. One of the reasons I left. • #AxiComSoWhite - they talk a big game about diversity, yet they were getting whiter each month, and management didn't comment on the fact that POC junior staffers were dropping like flies. • Don't value employee feedback
